IQ-C/4

Concentrated hygienizing detergent

Concentrated hygienizing detergent, especially formulated for cleaning and hygienizing surfaces, equipment and utensils that come into contact with food. It eliminates unpleasant odours due to its microorganisms.

IQ-C/4 is a concentrated sanitising detergent formulated for cleaning and degreasing of surfaces, equipment and utensils in food production facilities and professional kitchens. As a high-concentration degreaser detergent, it eliminates organic residues, fats and odours with proven effectiveness, delivering a bright, residue-free finish on treated surfaces. Its phosphate-free, EDTA-free and ammonia-free formula makes it a responsible choice for food industry industrial cleaning with high standards of safety and hygiene.

01High-dilution concentrate: reduces operational costs and packaging waste volume.
02Phosphate-free, EDTA-free, NTA-free, ammonia-free, chlorine-free: formulation without aggressive components for people and surfaces.
03Degreasing and deodorising action: eliminates fats, proteins and bad odours in a single operation.
04Fast self-drying and non-abrasive: preserves finishes on stainless steel, food-grade plastics and porous surfaces.
05Compatible with HACCP and BRC programmes: documentable integration into certified cleaning and disinfection systems.

Benefits for professional use

  • High concentration — enables multiple litres of ready-to-use solution from each litre of concentrate, reducing operational costs and packaging waste volume.
  • Powerful degreasing effect — breaks down the structure of fats and proteins deposited on work surfaces, utensils and equipment, guaranteeing deep, residue-free surface cleaning.
  • Deodorising action — neutralises odours generated by organic residues, a critical factor in kitchens and food production plants with high daily activity.
  • Fast self-drying and non-abrasive — reduces waiting time after application, prevents moisture build-up and preserves the finishes of stainless steel, food-grade plastics and porous surfaces.
  • With over-greasing agents and dermal protectors — suitable for frequent use without causing skin irritation to operators, even during intensive cleaning shifts.
  • Ammonia-free, caustic soda-free, chlorine-free, phosphate-free, EDTA-free, NTA-free — reduces chemical aggressiveness on surfaces and materials, and improves workplace conditions for staff.
  • Compatible with professional dilution systems — facilitates integration into documented cleaning programmes for HACCP and BRC audits.

Main applications

  • Food industry: cleaning of production lines, work tables, conveyor belts, storage tanks and utensils in contact with food in plants and food facilities with hygiene regulatory requirements.
  • Industrial and collective kitchens: treatment of extractor hoods, deep fryers, grills, ovens and stainless steel surfaces in industrial kitchen and central kitchen cleaning processes.
  • Hotels and food service: cleaning of bars, office areas, cold rooms and food preparation zones with high levels of grease and organic residue generation in HoReCa establishments.
  • Healthcare and social care facilities: cleaning of non-porous surfaces in hospital kitchens, office areas and food handling zones within care and residential centres.
  • Cleaning service companies: standard reference in maintenance contracts for food industry and collective food service facilities, with dilution adjustable according to soil level and surface type.

Recommended sectors

  • HoReCa — industrial cleaning of kitchens, food preparation surfaces, utensils and equipment in hospitality with high grease load in hotels, restaurants and cafés.
  • Food industry — application in documented cleaning programmes for production plants, food facilities and central kitchens under food safety regulations.
  • Healthcare and geriatric care — cleaning of office areas, central kitchens and food handling zones in hospital and residential care facilities.
  • Cleaning service companies and facility management — integration of IQ-C/4 as a standard reference in food industry industrial cleaning contracts and professional cleaning product management.

Indicative directions for use

01
Determine the appropriate working concentration according to soil level and surface type, consulting the product technical datasheet.
02
Prepare the solution by adding the concentrate to water in the bucket or dilution system, never the other way round. For spray use, load the sprayer with the dilution indicated for vertical surfaces and equipment.
03
Apply the solution to the surface to be treated ensuring uniform coverage, both on floors and on work surfaces and equipment.
04
Leave for the contact time recommended in the technical datasheet to ensure the degreasing and deodorising action.
05
Remove residues with mop, scourer or cloth depending on surface type, or allow to self-dry where format permits. Use the PPE recommended in the safety data sheet.

Specific dilutions, contact times and recommendations are available in the product's technical datasheet.
